WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:09.440
My Friend Irma, created by Cy Howard and starring Marie Wilson as Irma, with Mary Shipp as Kate.

00:11.680 --> 00:16.880
Oh, hello. Well, with Irma's little nephew Bobby back from boarding school and with our being on

00:16.880 --> 00:21.600
a redecorating kick, we've been a couple of pretty busy gals. Oh, gee Kate, I think that paper looks

00:21.600 --> 00:25.520
pretty good. Yeah, well I'd like to live with it for a few days before we make a decision.

00:25.520 --> 00:31.040
Buy me some tacks, will you honey? Oh, sure Kate. You know, my boss once said I was sharp as a tack.

00:32.000 --> 00:36.720
You, sharp as a tack? The hand you hit with a hammer.

00:38.640 --> 00:42.640
But you know, after a while you begin to feel like somebody's hitting you with a hammer,

00:42.640 --> 00:45.920
when you live with and love My Friend Irma.

00:48.960 --> 00:54.480
You know Brad, we're still on our redecorating kick. Yeah. As of three o'clock, we're wavering

00:54.480 --> 01:01.040
between Regency, Early American, and Contemporary. What? No, no. Regency, Early American, and

01:01.040 --> 01:06.640
Contemporary. Yeah, all right darling, I'll see you tonight. Bye-bye. Gee Kate, uh, but here's what

01:06.640 --> 01:10.720
you were telling Brad, you know what I think? What do you think? Well, I think that Regency

01:10.720 --> 01:15.200
and Early American just aren't our style. We're more the, uh, contemptible type.

01:15.200 --> 01:26.960
Oh, well thank you. Hey, do you know where my, uh, my lace gloves are? No, I don't. Oh, I had them, I...

01:28.160 --> 01:32.720
Oh, I know. I left them in my red purse. Oh, well that solves that mystery.

01:35.360 --> 01:40.560
Have you seen my red purse? Honey, what's the matter with you? Ever since you got up this

01:40.560 --> 01:45.040
morning, you've been running around like a chicken with its head off. Yeah, my feet are killing me too.

01:46.640 --> 01:51.280
You got your shoes on wrong. Gee, I must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed.

01:51.280 --> 01:58.640
Yeah, you certainly must have. They're my shoes. Gee honey, I'll take them back. I guess I got a

01:58.640 --> 02:03.280
touch of spring fever or something. Couldn't be that you're, uh, mooning over some fella, could it?

02:04.480 --> 02:09.840
Yeah, like Joe, for instance. Oh, don't be silly, Kate. Joe and I are just good friends. Well, you two

02:09.840 --> 02:16.640
good friends weren't exactly shaking hands last evening when you said good night. Okay. Hi, Bobby.

02:16.640 --> 02:22.800
Gee, sweetie, where'd you get all the candy? Somebody gave it to me. Oh, who? Somebody, and I'm not

02:22.800 --> 02:28.080
gonna tell you who. But you can forget about all the decorating and Emma. You're not gonna be living

02:28.080 --> 02:34.880
here very long. Oh, what do you mean by that, Bobby? I'm not talking. Oh, well sweetie, if you don't want to

02:34.880 --> 02:39.440
talk, you don't have to. But you know you're not supposed to take candy from strangers. Joe isn't a

02:39.440 --> 02:47.760
stranger. Joe? So it was Joe, huh? Gee, I wasn't supposed to tell. Oh, weren't supposed to tell what, honey?

02:47.760 --> 02:54.640
But Joe told me not to tell. Well, look now, darling. Now, wait a minute, Irma. If Bobby has a little secret, it's his

02:54.640 --> 03:03.120
privilege to keep it from us. See? Oh. Uh, Bobby, dear, how would you like to play a little game? Now, uh, I'll say a

03:03.120 --> 03:09.520
word, yes, and you say the first word that comes to your mind. Now, if I say black, you'll say...

03:09.520 --> 03:13.920
White! Yeah, it's a wonderful game. It's called, uh, word assassination.

03:13.920 --> 03:20.160
Association. Oh, association assassination.

03:22.080 --> 03:25.040
Now, Bobby, dear, if I say dog... Cat.

03:25.040 --> 03:38.080
Cat. Um, tall. Short. Uh, rich. Joke. Four. Joe. No. Oh, come on, let's try it, huh?

03:38.960 --> 03:45.040
All right, uh, bread. Butter. Cake. Candy. I'm getting hungry.

03:47.200 --> 03:52.880
Come on, Bobby. Uh, bell. Ring. Ring. No, I didn't say it. I didn't say it.

03:52.880 --> 03:56.640
Ha ha, I know what it is. You run along. I won't tell. You run along and play in your room.

03:56.640 --> 04:03.280
Oh. Irma! Irma! Yeah, Kate? Joe is giving you a ring. Oh, thanks, Kate. Oh, Joe?

04:03.280 --> 04:12.640
Oh, this time. An engagement ring. Oh, golly, I guess he's forgiven me for breaking our,

04:12.640 --> 04:15.920
our, our wedding, huh? I guess so. Isn't that wonderful? It certainly is,

04:15.920 --> 04:21.760
considering that you're only good friends. Oh, gee. Congratulations, honey. Hey, uh, what about Al?

04:21.760 --> 04:25.840
Oh, well, he's a real nice fella, but he just isn't the marrying kind. No, I guess you're right.

04:26.640 --> 04:31.440
I think I'll call Joe and tell him how happy I am. Honey, no, you're not supposed to tell.

04:31.440 --> 04:36.480
Besides, I think Joe'd like to surprise you. Oh, of course. I'll just pretend that,

04:36.480 --> 04:41.200
that I don't know anything. I'll play dumb. That's my girl.

04:45.040 --> 04:48.160
Who is it? It's me, Joe. Oh.

04:48.160 --> 04:54.000
Come here, control yourself. Irma, what, what are you? No, get back.

04:54.000 --> 04:55.840
Oh, what? Oh, I'm sorry.

04:55.840 --> 04:59.600
Come, I know you're nervous. Come, yeah. Not bad.

05:01.840 --> 05:04.640
You are supposed to be surprised. Oh, right.

05:05.920 --> 05:14.960
Yes. Oh, Joe! Wow, of all people, can you imagine that, Kate? It is Joe.

05:14.960 --> 05:18.080
Oh. What's going on?

05:18.080 --> 05:21.040
You rehearsing for a play or something? Oh.

05:21.040 --> 05:23.280
Well, if you two are good friends, you'll excuse me.

05:24.240 --> 05:27.840
Why, won't you sit down over here, Joe? Thanks.

05:27.840 --> 05:29.680
Whatever are you talking about?

05:33.680 --> 05:35.040
Well. Well.

05:36.960 --> 05:39.120
Uh, beautiful. Yes?

05:39.120 --> 05:43.120
Nice dress you're wearing. Don't change the subject. You were saying?

05:43.840 --> 05:46.560
Yeah, well, there is something I wanted to talk to you about.

05:46.560 --> 05:50.240
Oh, did you want to engage me in conversation?

05:50.240 --> 05:54.960
What are you trying to say to me? Oh, nothing. I don't know anything.

05:54.960 --> 05:56.400
You don't? Oh, of course not.

05:57.440 --> 06:01.520
And Bobby doesn't tell me anything either, you know, especially after you told him not to.

06:01.520 --> 06:08.160
Oh. Well, uh, I'm going to go get my dress.

06:08.160 --> 06:10.080
Well, uh, you were, you were saying?

06:14.160 --> 06:17.840
Don't you have something for me? Something in your pocket?

06:18.880 --> 06:22.400
Of course. Oh, Joe, it's just beautiful.

06:22.400 --> 06:23.600
And it's hand-rolled, too.

06:26.320 --> 06:28.240
Where's the ring? The ring?

06:28.800 --> 06:32.160
Hey, I'm getting engaged. Congratulations. Who's the lucky fellow?

06:33.280 --> 06:36.640
Oh, don't you know? Bobby didn't tell me anything either.

06:36.640 --> 06:38.400
Gotta run along. Oh, Joe, Joe.

06:39.360 --> 06:43.040
Okay, beautiful. Here it is, honey.

06:43.040 --> 06:44.480
Oh, Bobby. See if you like it.

06:44.480 --> 06:47.280
Oh, Joe. Let me put it on your finger.

06:47.280 --> 06:50.080
Oh, honey, it's lovely. See, it's a little loose, isn't it?

06:50.080 --> 06:54.720
Oh, no, darling. It's, it's, it's lovely.

06:56.640 --> 07:00.080
I'm glad you like it, beautiful. But I was just thinking, as long as I haven't made the

07:00.080 --> 07:02.560
down payment, why don't I take it back and get a little small...

07:02.560 --> 07:06.880
No, no, no, no. I'm getting superstitious about engagement rings going off and on my

07:06.880 --> 07:08.400
finger. It's on. It's gonna stay on.

07:08.400 --> 07:08.880
Okay, I'll...

07:08.880 --> 07:14.640
No, I like this way, too. I don't want you to change it. I'm gonna show it to everybody.

07:14.640 --> 07:16.800
All right, I'll get a photo to ensure it gets lost.

07:16.800 --> 07:17.600
Oh, really?

07:17.600 --> 07:18.000
Sure.

07:18.000 --> 07:22.880
Oh, Joe, I'm so excited. Honey, tell me I'm the only girl you ever loved.

07:24.880 --> 07:29.360
Well, there have been quite a few girls who give me the rush from time to time. Of course,

07:29.360 --> 07:33.040
I have to pay attention to them because I'm not that kind of a fellow. As a matter of fact, I was

07:33.760 --> 07:38.000
almost engaged to one of them, but I just rushed it aside because I don't feel that way. The truth

07:38.000 --> 07:40.240
of the matter is, I am in love with you.

07:40.240 --> 07:41.760
Oh, say it again.

07:42.560 --> 07:43.040
All of it?

07:43.040 --> 07:49.440
Oh, well, I better show it to Kay anyway. Uh, Kay!

07:49.440 --> 07:50.640
Kay!

07:51.440 --> 07:53.520
Lookie, I'm engaged!

07:53.520 --> 07:59.760
Oh, ring and all.

07:59.760 --> 08:04.960
Okay, night, dear. Congratulations, Joe. You'll be very happy, I'm sure.

08:04.960 --> 08:05.920
Thanks very much.

08:05.920 --> 08:07.520
Well, I've got to get some groceries.

08:07.520 --> 08:08.320
Okay.

08:08.320 --> 08:10.400
You have a little celebration. Bye, dear.

08:10.400 --> 08:10.880
Bye, Kay.

08:10.880 --> 08:14.800
Oh, dear, I'm so excited. I'd like to show it to Mr. O'Reilly.

08:14.800 --> 08:15.440
Go ahead, honey.

08:15.440 --> 08:18.640
Oh, golly, he's just wowed.

08:18.640 --> 08:28.320
Oh, my girl.

08:28.320 --> 08:35.120
Hello? Hello, Sandra? This is Joe. My girl saw the ring and she's nuts about it. It's a deal.

08:35.120 --> 08:37.040
Yeah, I'll be down. I'll give you the down payment.

08:38.560 --> 08:44.880
What? The deal's off? Why? What do you want to go and make up with your boyfriend for?

08:44.880 --> 08:52.800
Oh, no, no, no. Irma's very superstitious about rings. But this is the ring she wants.

08:55.040 --> 08:56.560
Okay, I'll try. I'll call you back later.

08:56.560 --> 08:59.040
Oh, Joe, Mr. O'Reilly.

08:59.040 --> 09:00.160
Did she like it?

09:00.160 --> 09:02.480
Well, she said it was the thought behind the count.

09:02.480 --> 09:08.000
Yeah, well, beautiful. When I said before I wanted to get you a different ring,

09:08.000 --> 09:10.320
I meant I'd like to get you a bigger one, honey.

09:10.320 --> 09:13.680
Oh, darling, it's wonderful. And Joe, you're wonderful too.

09:13.680 --> 09:18.960
Oh, baby, this is just the beginning, darling. It's just the beginning.

09:24.960 --> 09:27.600
Hi. I gotta go to work.

09:31.920 --> 09:32.480
See you later.

09:35.440 --> 09:36.960
Oh, gosh, I'm sorry.

09:36.960 --> 09:38.880
I gotta go to work too. Uh, Kate.

09:38.880 --> 09:43.600
I'll see you later.

09:43.600 --> 09:44.960
I forgot my purse.

09:44.960 --> 09:51.440
Oh, you're getting just like me. Oh, darling, I can hardly believe it. I'm engaged to a man all my own.

09:51.440 --> 09:53.120
Oh, I'm very happy for you, dear.

09:53.120 --> 09:57.600
Oh, can't he be so right for me? That beautiful, dark, curly hair.

09:57.600 --> 09:59.600
Goes perfectly with my Persian lamb coat.

10:01.760 --> 10:05.520
That's the case. I guess I'll never find the right man. Me with my blue fox.

10:05.520 --> 10:09.360
Oh, I'm going to have a leopard.

10:13.040 --> 10:17.920
Hello. Uh, they said who'd be here? Joe?

10:21.280 --> 10:26.400
Who's calling? Sandra? Oh.

10:26.400 --> 10:33.920
Well, would you like to leave a message? What? Tell him what?

10:36.640 --> 10:41.920
Tell him that the engagement is on and you want him to bring the ring over there.

10:46.160 --> 10:50.560
Kate, say something good, Ellen. What's wrong, dear?

10:50.560 --> 10:52.880
Joe has another girl. What?

10:52.880 --> 10:58.880
Yeah, and he's giving her a ring, too. You probably just get them wholesale.

10:58.880 --> 11:04.720
Well, if he did, he couldn't afford it. Oh, I wouldn't worry about Joe. I'm sure

11:04.720 --> 11:07.680
there's nothing going on with that other girl. You really think so, Kate?

11:07.680 --> 11:11.760
Yes, I do. I really do. Oh, gee, thanks, Kate. I feel a lot better.

11:12.800 --> 11:16.560
It's so beautiful, too. I'm going to go down to the office and show it to Mr. Bagnell.

11:17.680 --> 11:21.120
Who's Mr. Bagnell? Oh, don't you remember I told you Mr. Clyde

11:21.120 --> 11:25.120
was down in Florida for a rest? Oh, and Mr. Bagnell's taken over for him.

11:25.120 --> 11:29.200
No, Mr. Goodwin took over for him. Well, we're right back where we started.

11:29.200 --> 11:32.000
Who's Mr. Bagnell? He took over for Mr. Goodwin.

11:32.640 --> 11:35.200
You mean Mr. Goodwin threw in the sponge after only one week?

11:35.920 --> 11:39.280
Five days. Overworked.

11:39.280 --> 11:40.160
Overworked. Yeah.

11:40.160 --> 11:43.200
Well, I've got to get to the office. Wait a minute. This is Saturday.

11:43.200 --> 11:46.000
Will Mr. Bagnell be there? Oh, sure. He's got a lot of work to get out.

11:46.000 --> 11:48.000
What are you doing home? Me?

11:48.000 --> 11:51.360
Yeah. Well, he said he can't get it out if I'm home.

11:51.360 --> 11:52.960
I'm off. Bye. Oh, bye.

11:52.960 --> 12:03.520
Mr. Bagnell? Oh, it was until you got here.

12:04.480 --> 12:08.560
So what do I owe this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach?

12:08.560 --> 12:11.200
Oh, don't you worry, Mr. Bagnell. I didn't come here to work.

12:11.200 --> 12:15.520
Oh, I feel better now. I just came to show you a beautiful ring.

12:15.520 --> 12:19.200
Engagement ring my boyfriend Joe gave me. Yeah, very pretty.

12:20.720 --> 12:25.360
Don't you see the diamond? Oh, yes, yes. There is.

12:25.360 --> 12:31.280
There's a distinct glitter. Well, congratulations.

12:31.280 --> 12:34.240
Oh, thank you. By the way, what did you do with the papers

12:34.240 --> 12:36.000
on the Toomey case? The Toomey case?

12:36.000 --> 12:38.400
You worked on them all last week. Don't you remember?

12:38.400 --> 12:44.400
No, I don't. I'll look for them, though. I guess my mind was on Joe.

12:44.400 --> 12:46.880
Oh, I was wondering where you kept it.

12:46.880 --> 12:50.240
Oh, I know that Joe. He's such a cute fellow.

12:50.240 --> 12:54.720
Yeah, the girls all thought Toomey was cute, too. He was married three times.

12:54.720 --> 12:57.520
Well, I guess he just wanted to make sure his wife really was his wife.

12:57.520 --> 13:00.400
Oh, here it is. Miss Peterson, thank you.

13:01.920 --> 13:06.240
Toomey married three different girls and never bothered to get a divorce.

13:06.240 --> 13:09.200
That makes him a bigamist. Bigamist?

13:09.760 --> 13:13.600
Golly, what's that? That's a man trying to escape one lion

13:13.600 --> 13:20.240
and jumping into a cage with two. Well, I always say a man who likes animals

13:20.240 --> 13:26.880
that well isn't all bad. Miss Peterson, Toomey trifled with the hearts

13:26.880 --> 13:31.920
of those women, led them to believe they were the only women in his life,

13:31.920 --> 13:36.560
and all the time he was playing the field. Oh, well, I know just how they feel.

13:36.560 --> 13:39.680
You know, this morning I even thought that... Joe?

13:39.680 --> 13:42.640
Joe? Joe?

13:43.200 --> 13:48.000
Joe, he deceived me. Now I'm sure of it. Well, I'm going to punish him.

13:48.000 --> 13:52.160
I'm going to break our engagement. Miss Peterson, make up your mind.

13:52.160 --> 13:54.960
Are you going to punish him or break the engagement?

13:54.960 --> 13:59.760
Oh, and I'm not going to give him back his ring, either.

13:59.760 --> 14:02.400
Well, now, wait a minute. Probably it isn't paid for.

14:02.400 --> 14:07.680
And the law clearly states that any desideratum in which title is not vested

14:07.680 --> 14:12.160
cannot be passed along to a third party except by the titular bestee.

14:12.160 --> 14:15.520
Now, if you break the engagement, you must give the ring back,

14:15.520 --> 14:18.640
or you'll be hounded and embarrassed by lawyers.

14:18.640 --> 14:23.120
Holy cow. I want to go back. I can't stand lawyers.

14:23.120 --> 14:24.000
Well, neither can I.

14:24.000 --> 14:31.360
Miss Peterson? Yes, yes, Mr. Bagnell?

14:31.360 --> 14:34.240
Would you do a favor for me, please? Oh, gladly.

14:34.240 --> 14:40.320
I happen to love birds, and on the ledge three or four yards from my window,

14:40.320 --> 14:44.880
there's one particular little pigeon that comes, keeps coming and going,

14:44.880 --> 14:50.560
coming and going. Will you reach way, way out and catch him for me?

14:50.560 --> 14:55.360
Oh, surely I will. Mr. Bagnell, I'm liable to fall out.

14:55.360 --> 14:56.400
Happy landing.

14:56.400 --> 15:01.520
Well, Irma's back from the office, and Mr. Bagnell is probably back

15:01.520 --> 15:07.120
from his psychiatrist's couch by now. I hope the head shrinker can help Mr. Bagnell.

15:07.120 --> 15:09.520
I don't know how things are going to be here, but I think it'll be...

15:09.520 --> 15:11.920
See, I've made up my mind. Here we go again.

15:11.920 --> 15:13.120
Yep. What is it?

15:13.120 --> 15:15.920
Well, I'm going to ride over. No, I guess I'd better call Joe

15:15.920 --> 15:18.800
and tell him to come over here and take back his ring.

15:18.800 --> 15:22.000
Well, honey, did you ever start to think this may all be a big mistake?

15:22.000 --> 15:24.400
No, I never thought it would be a big mistake.

15:24.400 --> 15:26.800
Did you ever think this may all be a big mistake?

15:26.800 --> 15:30.160
No, I spoke to the girl myself. The mistake was mine.

15:30.160 --> 15:32.400
I never should have bought that Persian lamb coat.

15:32.400 --> 15:37.840
Hello? Hello, is this the stick and stand cleaners?

15:37.840 --> 15:43.840
Well, I think it's a shame you have such a terrible fellow working for you.

15:43.840 --> 15:48.080
Who? Joe, of course. Is he there?

15:48.080 --> 15:50.640
Oh, well, when he comes in, would you give him a message for me?

15:50.640 --> 15:54.160
Tell him Irma called and told him to come right over,

15:54.160 --> 15:57.360
and he has his, ha, ring.

15:57.360 --> 15:59.600
Honey, I wouldn't do anything drastic.

15:59.600 --> 16:01.360
Look, if you don't give the ring back to Joe,

16:01.360 --> 16:03.120
it'll be a lot easier to make up.

16:03.120 --> 16:05.680
Oh, no, the law says I've got to give it back.

16:05.680 --> 16:09.920
You see, the title can't be passed unless it's under the vest of the vestige.

16:09.920 --> 16:14.640
Irma, that doesn't make sense.

16:14.640 --> 16:16.800
Well, it's legal talk. It isn't supposed to make sense.

16:16.800 --> 16:22.480
Well, I guess you're a big girl now, and you're being silly, I think,

16:22.480 --> 16:24.640
but it's really none of my business, so...

16:24.640 --> 16:26.560
Joe, it's all over with, sweetie, really.

16:26.560 --> 16:29.360

16:29.360 --> 16:32.480

16:32.480 --> 16:34.880

16:34.880 --> 16:35.680

16:35.680 --> 16:36.880
Yep?

16:36.880 --> 16:39.280

16:39.280 --> 16:40.640
Oh, great.

16:40.640 --> 16:42.800
Hey, what are you running the water for?

16:42.800 --> 16:48.400
Well, Joe said he insured my ring with a floater.

16:48.400 --> 16:51.600
He thought if you let the water run, the ring would float to the top.

16:51.600 --> 16:58.560
That's very funny. I'll call a plumber.

16:58.560 --> 17:01.760
No, no, you don't understand. It fell down the drain.

17:01.760 --> 17:03.680

17:03.680 --> 17:08.960

For a minute there, I thought I was going to keep going.

17:18.560 --> 17:19.840
I'll be right over.

17:19.840 --> 17:23.760
No, I won't be hurrying, because you know that if I don't get that ring back,

17:23.760 --> 17:26.240
I will be taken into court with a...

17:26.240 --> 17:28.560
Honey, the plumber will get the ring back for you.

17:28.560 --> 17:33.840
Yeah, but Kate, the water will make life miserable for me. I'm scared.

17:38.720 --> 17:39.760
Don't you feel well?

17:39.760 --> 17:43.200
I feel terrible. I'm so worried I dropped my ring down the drain.

17:43.200 --> 17:46.320
Gosh, Uncle Joe will really be mad when he finds out.

17:46.320 --> 17:48.960
He's going to be, Uncle Joe, sweetie.

17:48.960 --> 17:51.760
I'm going to give him back the ring just as soon as that plumber gets here.

17:51.760 --> 17:52.560
But...

17:52.560 --> 17:53.840
Who is it?

Gee, I better not.

18:00.080 --> 18:02.240

18:02.240 --> 18:03.440

No, you can't, sweetie. It's way down the drain.

Honey, I was just burning over love for you.

18:43.040 --> 18:44.160
Thank you, sir.

18:44.160 --> 18:45.360
Sure.

18:45.360 --> 18:47.280
Oh, what a misunderstanding.

18:47.280 --> 18:50.800

Well, everything was finally straightened out.

24:12.160 --> 24:15.120
The girl on the phone really was Joe's cousin.

24:15.120 --> 24:16.320
I hope.

Anyway, Irma expects to be engaged again soon.

Matter of fact, right now, she's adding a few things

24:21.760 --> 24:22.960
to her hope chest.

24:22.960 --> 24:26.080
Okay, I got everything but the egg beater.

24:26.080 --> 24:27.200
The egg beater?

Oh, sure, I read a book on marriage.

24:28.640 --> 24:30.880
It said every wife should be a good mixer.

Oh!

Well, if marriage depends upon the wife being a good mixer,

24:36.240 --> 24:38.240
then this one should last forever.
